It was a sunny start to the day but the cloud had very few breaks from c11:00am on the heath.

The NE breeze was consistently variable settling for minutes on end at anything from 7 to 15 mph. Given that the temperature was only about 8C moving around to cope with the lighter wind moments seemed the best option so it was 1.5 Vented sails with green race today.

Flying slow demands even more flier input, some of it very energetic, compared to the slow movement of the kite. Long arms with handles horizontal certainly worked for me today especially with horizontal passes and ‘thrown’ stops which are a bit similar to the two line practice and certainly familiar to the single line flier.
